The GTA Online Summer Update is the next major release planned for Rockstar Games’ ridiculously popular urban open-world sandbox. The last major update for GTA Online arrived in December 2021 with ‘The Contract’, and despite the relaunch of the game on next-gen consoles, there’s likely a subset of players who are already keen to see what Rockstar Games has planned next for the next expansion.

Read on, and we’ll tell you everything you need to know.

Latest GTA Online Summer Update News

When will the GTA Online Summer Update release?

UPDATE 2 - The event week has been extended to July 26 which would suggest a small delay to the Summer Update release time.
 
UPDATE 1 - The new GTA Plus rewards have been announced and they end on July 17, 2022. This is quite a short month. Additionally, we normally see GTA+ reset on a Thursday following the GTA Online Weekly Reset. With the GTA+ Rewards ending on a Sunday, we suspect the New GTA Online Summer Update could launch on July 18.

Since 2019 Rockstar has always delivered at least two significant expansions to the game each year. You can take a look at when the game has released its expansions previously, on the chart below. Given that Rockstar has delivered a Summer expansion in July/August every year for the past 4 years, we suspect that the GTA Online 2022 summer update will release on July 23, 2022. Of course, this is only a prediction, so take it with a grain of salt until we get anymore official info.

What is coming out in the new GTA update summer update?

For the time being it’s difficult to say with too much certainty what content could be included in the next GTA Online summer update. For now, there have been zero leaks to indicate what sort of content we could see. That being said, we can make some fairly decent guesses. For one thing, three of the four past summer updates have been released with new social spaces or alternatively new businesses for players to purchase. Obviously, a slew of new vehicles is released with each update alongside plenty of new missions too.

The only year where you might argue that the summer update felt slightly underwhelming was in 2020 with the GTA Online: Los Santos Summer Special update. Content largely focused on a series of new missions, new Business Battles, new Adversary Modes, 9 new Open Wheel Races, and the Open Wheel Race Creator. That being said, Rockstar did follow it up with the Cayo Perico Heist update a few months later which added a massive island’s worth of content, so we think they can be forgiven.
